How to hide "Reduce motion" option from Preferences dialog in Next Experience UI?

In our instance (Yokohama release), when users open Preferences (via the avatar menu → Preferences), they can see options such as Display, Theme, Accessibility, and inside Accessibility there is a toggle called "Reduce motion".

For our requirement, we would like to hide or disable this "Reduce motion" option from the Preferences dialog, so that end users cannot see or change it.

  • Is there a supported way to remove or hide this specific item?

  • Can it be controlled by system properties, roles, or is it only possible via customization (e.g., UX Client Script / CSS)?

  • We would like to minimize impact on upgradeability.屏幕截图 2025-09-29 160830.png

Any suggestions or best practices would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @kack l - simply - no there should be no performance impact (in-fact, it might actually be a performance improvement for users as it's something at the browser level) - but thanks for sharing the info, it's appreciated,

Many thanks,
kind regards
